I offered to do a Puss in Boots and it was next to Antonio Andres and Salma Hayek, which I grew up watching.
And those were mom and dad, like mom and dad, Latino community where Antonio Andres and Salma Hayek, when, when they succeeded, when it was one feather on their hats, it was a feather on all our hats because it was like watching someone or representation, uh,
And so I was just like, gosh, I get to like do this with both of them.
And that's so cool to join them as like the third musketeer in this movie.
And I was just, you know, super excited.
And the product that came out was like, the animation style was like the cutting edge.
And like, it was really cool.
I got nominated for an Academy Award.
I didn't think that my first nomination for an Academy Award would be performing as Perrito.
But you take it any way you can get it.
And he does have one of the, and I just did a comic con this past weekend and somebody came up to me and quoted their favorite line.
And I think it's one of my favorite lines of all time is Juan Perritos donating his wish to Puss.
And he says, it's okay.
I don't need it because maybe one life is enough.
it's a very sweet line yeah and just to think about that line and i was like that's such it's like a perfect line with the period at the end it's just like if i could just go off that line it's like it reminds me all the time like it's like it's like always aspiring to like live like the joneses or like wanting to get more and that's always good to have aspiration but sometimes just like stop and be like one life's enough you know absolutely absolutely it's great
You're absolutely right.
